If you aren't drunk the entire time you are doing it wrong. Demo games are usually available at any time. Just ask around the area where they are demoing - the guys running demos may take breaks or whatnot, but there is not much of a strict schedule.

FW sells; there's a little on display. Demos are usually just walk-up.

Yes, you can drink in the halls. Usually they have dedicated bars just outside the main halls, serving beer, liquor, and often 40k-themed cocktails. The hotel asks that people not bring outside booze into the halls; some folks do it but keep it subtle, like buying the same brands of beer that the hotel bars serve, or carrying flasks.

I made it out alive, and in one piece (although my wallet is quite a bit lighter). It was honestly the most fun I've had all year. The marathon days of gaming were rough... 10 hours of games plus booze every day can wear you down. By game four of the team tourney I was delirious which is probably the reason we got Eldar-cheated (Uncle Pete can confirm). Good times all around.
